High-capacity boilers

With a capacity of 3 million Btu per hour, Benchmark 3.0 high-efficiency boilers have a 79-in. height, 28-in. width, and 64-in. depth. The gas-fired units deliver a turndown of 15-to-1 to maximize operating efficiency and seasonal fuel savings. The boilers are fitted with a low-nitrous-oxide (NOx) burner, which has NOx-emission levels of less than 30 ppm.— AercoCircle 120

Deaerators brochure

A brochure from Industrial Steam describes the company's pressurized steam-flow deaerators, which can reduce boiler-feed-water gas content to 0.005 cc per liter. The brochure has sizing and sequence-of-operation information.— Industrial SteamCircle 121

Burners

RMB Ultra burners are designed to meet the needs of large firetube, commercial watertube, and small industrial watertube boilers. The burners have capacities of 700 to 2,500 hp or 30 million to 105 million Btu per hour. The burners' low NOx-emission levels range from 9 to 30 ppm when firing natural gas.— John Zink Co.Circle 122

Tube-cleaning system

The Wils-Away 1500, an electric tube-cleaning system for straight and curved tubes in firetube boilers, air and water heaters, heat exchangers, condensers, chillers, absorbers, coolers, and other pressure vessels, removes soot and scale. Each unit is equipped with a safety shaft coupling that snaps under accidental overload, protecting the shaft from breakage. Collecting soot, 2-hp and 4-hp vacuums give cleaned tubes a polished look. Each kit includes an electric drive unit and all accessories and tools required for tube cleaning.— Thomas C. Wilson Inc.Circle 123

Latest White Papers

Data breaches and other cyber crime cost companies billions each year worldwide, and the damage to brand reputation can be incalculable. Since hackers look for weakly defended systems to attack, this paper presents 5 cybersecurity “best practices” to mitigate system vulnerabilities. Some are commonsense measures like effective password management; others involve securing open ports and other access points, software upgrades, user management, and vulnerability plans....More

A top priority for higher education institutions is to provide a competitive learning environment for their students. In order to succeed, they must address outdated, aging campus facilities. In these older buildings maintenance and operations costs are high, space utilization is inefficient and poorly managed, and current technology is lacking. This white paper explores four strategies for converting campus facilities into a network of smart buildings that address the needs of current and future students....More
